hi,
I have an external wall which is pretty rubbish (very old house) state. the wall isn't structural but the internals are finished and don't need any work. So my plan is to leave the existing wall rather then knock it down and rebuilt.
There is room under the buildings overhang to simply build a 2nd wall outside of the existing wall to create a more robust structure. I'm looking mostly for thermal and sound benefits over anything else including aesthetics.
I also have a pile of old bricks.
So is it worth building this 2nd wall with the old bricks with (sound/thermo) insulation in the gap (about 50mm) or should I invest in thermolite blocks and render over?
Thanks
